Kids nothing, we're going to see the effects of poo poo getting wild before we're in the grave. We're already seeing changes in severe weather, unseasonable patterns, and the resulting migration of animals/insects/disease. And it sure as gently caress isn't "lol that's just the weather, nerd".

edit: this is also on top of us loving around with using too much water for agriculture and draining the aquifers, salt water seeping into the aquifers, or building in places that don't have enough natural water to begin with.

edit2: this is also precisely why they call it climate change now, too. Because despite the fact that yes, unnatural warming is the root cause of a lot of this, you get morons like trumpo that say 'lol it was coldest on record this year, how is this real'

Also, "global warming" is basically just the average annual temperature. Climate includes precipitation patterns, temperature ranges, onset of seasons, etc.

Going back to MS13: it's funny people call them a criminal organization, because they really suck at being criminals. They don't run drugs or untaxed cigarettes, they don't boost cars or middle stolen swag, they don't even deal weed.

They shake down illegals for protection money, but even then it's no guarantee. Sometimes they hack off someone's arm or leg just for the lulz. They're a street gang based around one thing only: violence.

It's nuts, because typically in organized crime and anti-gang work you have drugs, which lead to informants, which leads to actionable intel. Not with MS-13. If someone informs on MS-13 to the local cops or the feds, that's it, they're dead. MS-13 is more paranoid then a tweeker during a drug deal. Protective custody is worse then useless, MS-13 has more members in prison or jail then outside. And why should you inform anyway? As soon as your done snitching ICE will stick you on a plane back to El Salvador.

I don't like that Trump is using this gang for ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION CRACKDOWN, but they are a legit problem.

It's really more of a problem to specific regions. Central Long Island, Williamsburg, Charlotte NC, among others.

It's worth mentioning too that the median age of a member is 16. These are for the most part unaccompanied minors.

My dad is that kind of person. As I understand it, he saw her hiding away in the bushes on Saturday, and not wanting to eat or drink, and thought "well, this is it for her." And that's not unreasonable, because all of the cats that I saw dying did the same thing. But it was supremely lovely of him not to take her to the vet for an expert opinion, because for all we know they could've gone "welp she has a minor infection, here's some antibiotics, and make sure to feed her even if she doesn't want to, and she'll clear right up" or something of that nature.

NYT: Chances of China Trade Win Undercut by Trump Team Infighting

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/21/...WT.nav=top-news

quote:

In fact, the Chinese were well aware of the divisions in the administration’s trade team — and set out to exploit them, according to people briefed on the deliberations. They recognized that Mr. Trump’s advisers were split between implacable critics of China, like Mr. Lighthizer and Peter Navarro, the director of the White House national trade council; and free-traders who were more sympathetic, like Mr. Kudlow, Mr. Ross and Mr. Mnuchin, a former Goldman Sachs executive.

The divisions within the American team revolve around whether the United States should try to secure a short-term deal with China that would benefit some industries and avert a potential trade war, a path that Mr. Mnuchin prefers, or whether they should pressure China to make more fundamental changes to its economy, a path that Mr. Navarro and Mr. Lighthizer say is preferable.
